Overview
This node provides integration with Pitneybowes services within n8n workflows. It allows users to configure request options such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and request timeout to customize how API requests to Pitneybowes are made. This node is useful for automating tasks involving Pitneybowes APIs, such as shipping, mailing, or location services, where controlling request flow and network settings is important.
Use Case Examples
- Automate shipping label creation by sending batch requests to Pitneybowes API with controlled intervals to avoid rate limits.
- Use the node to send requests through a proxy server for network routing or security compliance.
- Configure the node to ignore SSL certificate issues when working in development or with self-signed certificates.

Output
JSON
responseData- The JSON response data returned from the Pitneybowes API after executing the request.
Dependencies
- Requires Pitneybowes API credentials for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- If requests fail due to SSL errors, enable 'Ignore SSL Issues' to bypass certificate validation (not recommended for production).
- Batching settings with very low batch size or interval may cause performance issues or API rate limiting.
- Incorrect proxy settings can cause connection failures; verify proxy URL and credentials if used.
- Timeout too low may cause premature request abortion; increase timeout if server responses are slow.
